It’s a great way to use up leftover roast beef or steak. The garlic aioli adds a tangy, robust flavor to the pizza. Roasting the garlic in the oven transforms garlic into a smooth mellow and slightly sweet flavor. you can also just mince the garlic and use it that way too! Swiss cheese is the perfect companion to the roast beef. If you’re a pizza lover, try my Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza also!
Making homemade pizza can be a rewarding experience. The whole family can be involved! Set up a pizza making station, and everyone can make their own! I highly recommend using a pizza stone. The crust will cook to perfection!
How To Roast Garlic In The Oven
Whole roasted garlic cloves are a delicious, roasting changes the sharp flavor of raw garlic into a mellow and savory delight. When garlic cloves are roasted, they become soft, creamy, and subtly sweet.
To prepare whole roasted garlic cloves, start with a whole head of garlic.
- Preheat your oven to around 400°F (200°C)
- Take a whole head of garlic and remove any loose or excess outer layers of skin, leaving the cloves intact.
- Cut off the top portion of the garlic head, while exposing the tips of the individual cloves.
- Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the exposed cloves.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the garlic.
- Wrap the entire garlic head loosely in aluminum foil, creating a pouch.
- Place the wrapped garlic head on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Roast the garlic for approximately 35-45 minutes, or until the cloves become soft and golden brown. The exact roasting time may vary depending on the size of the cloves.
- Once roasted, remove the garlic from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- To extract the roasted garlic cloves, gently squeeze the base of each clove, and the soft, fragrant flesh will slide out easily.
Whole roasted garlic cloves are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. They add depth and richness to soups, stews, sauces, and marinades. You can also spread the creamy roasted garlic on bread, crackers, or use it as a flavor boost in mashed potatoes or pasta dishes.
